It occurs to me, belatedly, that I should officially announce this, so:
As you may have noticed, Fuukanou has now become a forum moderator and site admin. For the time being, I'm still the only person grading tests and am making the final call on any translation corrections that are more...

We all transliterate primarily for the use of karaoke, but what if the song is in parts where there's more than one singer? Fortunately, the forum markup is color-friendly, so we can utilize this for the benefit of our on-site lyrics.
So, if you want a duet or multiple-singer song on...

Welcome to the Lyric Corrections board, or LC for short. Almost anyone can correct on-site lyrics (the Lv.0 ones could correct non-Japanese lyrics) provided sufficient arguments exist to warrant a correction.
The sole purpose for such a board is to not only correct existing lyrics however....

Hello!
I love this website, but I am frustrated by the lyrics arrangement. I really want the English, Romaji, and Japanese to all be on one page, side by side. Is there some way that someone can do this or make a link to a page that is arranged like that? I would be so grateful.

I don't know why girl would be the correct translation instead of person. It would also be more gender-neutral if person is used.

Hello, animelyrics dot com forum. I want to preface this by noting that I am aware that what I'm bringing up is, most likely, very old openings that nobody cares about anymore, but oh well, that's just how I am. A nice first post here, to be sure.
At any rate, while I have nothing to say to...

Hi,
There is an error at this line in the lyrics of "Ichiban no Takaramono" (https://www.animelyrics.com/anime/angelbeats/ichibannotakaramono.jis): 新しい麻に あたしは生きるよ
Instead of 麻 should be used 朝 (both are pronounced the same way but have completely different meanings)

There are a couple mistakes in the lyrics.
“Seou kodomo tachi” should be “Shou kodomo tachi,” but it could also be written as “Shō kodomo tachi.”
Then, it says “Shunkan wo,” but that’s not even the right word. It doesn’t even have the same meaning in Japanese. The proper lyric is “Toki wo”

I noticed this translation used "thing" as a translation for something that was clearly "person", and then I looked more closely and noticed some other weirdness:

While I do think there are corrections to be made, there are many points in this translation where I can't tell if the liberal translation includes all the information of the Japanese or not. The problem comes with me being unable to...

I noticed that in the first line of the Lost One's Weeping's romaji lyricshttps://www.animelyrics.com/doujin/vocaloid/lostonenogoukoku.jis there's a pretty minor mistake (but I figured I'd bring it to the site's attention!)

In the sixth verse, first line, a word was inadvertently omitted. The line reads:
届け！ 巻き込むほど熱く
It should read:

Please note that I only verified through listening to the song. The romaji has the song as "Hibike! Sekai wo..." where I believe I heard "Hibike! Sekai to..."...

皆さん、こんにちは！
Looking through the translation I have found something strange so I suggest some corrections.
1. I feel that the first line means «When summer is over (already)»: «when» is close to «if» in its meaning but is not the same, I think.
2. The 2nd and 3rd stanzas mean:

I've been looking at Hikarin's translation of Kokoro and I wonder if there are some minor mistranslations. I don't think they're misleading, just not as accurate as they could be.
